maple boards on Bongos??

[TSanders]

Let me start by saying that I prefer rosewood over maple without a doubt, but hey there are some die hard maple lovers out there. Will there be a maple fretboard Bongo option? What do we in Club Bongo think about a maple boarded Bonger?

I don't think maple is going to look very good with the painted headstocks......


....but that's a personal thing.

 

[TSanders]

i agree. i love the look of rosewood almost as much as the sound.

What about a purpleheart fingerboard with green leds, single-cut hollow cocobolo body with snakewood laminate top. And eleven strings.

Hang on, this isn't Talkbass...

Snakewood!

I saw that the other day over on TB.

Bunch of lumber snobs, aren't they?

Snakewood comes from, what? A snake tree?

Not sure. Probably Piratinera guianensis.

I'm going to order a 13 string Conklin made out of basswood. And I'm going to get the neck painted.

Ebony. The original bass fingerboard wood. Selected by the original master instrument makers. Why? Cause it sings, baby, cause it sings!

Wouldn't it be fun to post that over on TB? You made me giggle like a little girl, like a little girl with a really deep voice and smoker's hack.

You are my new hero.

If you are joking or making fun of the ERB players that visit TB in any way, please erase this thread.

And so it begins.

Eh. I bet David laRue has something like that. "We don't make custom guitars," he (Juan) said!

I fully expect to be kicked off TB. Oh well.

"Response #1: If you are joking, please erase this thread."

Should continue: "If you are not joking, then you are obviously an alien with 13 or 14 fingers and we would appreciate your not posting in our exclusive, sensitive little earth club."

dlloyd, You ARE bad to the bone!

Yes! We are here (the nod is for Bovine)!!!
Ok I don't have a problem actually;
The fact is in September I have to go and buy a Bongo because it's been a long time since my skills have surpassed the abilities of the StingRay !!!
